8 of the most awe-inspiring fashion show sets of all time

It wasn't the first time and it won't be the last time we see a flower wall, but Dior's for A/W 12 was certainly the chicest. A floor-to-ceiling installation of delphiniums, orchids, mimosas and more created a rainbow effect as the models moved from room to room.

Louis Vuitton, S/S 13

In a nod to all things mod, Louis Vuitton presented a checker-crazy collection in white yellow and black for S/S 13. Four large escalators brought models down to the large yellow checkerboard runway, where they walked in pairs donning '60s-inspired pieces.

Chanel, A/W 14

Karl Lagerfeld magically transformed the Grand Palais into a Chanel-themed supermarket for A/W 14. Shelves were stocked with Chanel-branded items, from Coco Pops and Pringles to a full DIY aisle with hard hats and chainsaws. It definitely brought a whole new level of chic to your weekly shop.

Moschino, S/S 16

Known for choosing a theme and really sticking to it, Jeremy Scott’s ‘Couture Car-Wash’ runway was one of the biggest catwalk productions of all time. Think road signs reading ‘No Parking, Couture Zone’ and ‘Dangerous Couture Ahead’, traffic cones, barricades and a real car wash that blew bubbles had attendees in awe.

Coach 1941, S/S 17

Stuart Vevers S/S 17 collection saw a tougher, punkier vibe grace the runway. A scrapyard-themed set with heaped rusting old cars was the perfect backdrop for the studs, leather and patches that adorned the collection.

Tommy Hilfiger, A/W 16

Not one to do things on a small scale, Tommy Hilfiger created an actual ship for A/W 16. Gigi Hadid and other big names walked the decks of the T.H Atlantic in one of his biggest shows to date. All aboard!

Miu Miu, A/W 17

Miu Miu took a cosy approach to set design for A/W 17, covering the entire venue in lavender faux fur. The large walls, giant columns, and sweeping grand staircase were encased in the fluffy hue.

Philip Plein, A/W 18

Artificial snow, a giant UFO and a serenading robot were just some of the many things to gawk at during Philip Plein's star-studded A/W 18 show. A futuristic snowy scene was perfect for the sci-fi inspired collection.

Gucci, A/W 18

In one of the eeriest sets of all time, Alessandro Michele created an operating theatre to present last season’s collection. With models holding dragons, snakes and cloned heads, it set the perfect tone for a spooky show.
